Used to enjoy it until I almost died going around there :(

They are indeed beautiful mountains. Nothing prettier than the sun peering through the trees along Mountain Highway heading up towards Sassafras.

yeah, too many ppl have bad experiences up there. but you dont even have to drive fast to appreciate them. well if anyone ever wants to head up let me know.

I've lived up there for years! Some of the best roads ever, love starting in ferntree gully and end up in Menzies creek the run is about an hour drive early in the morning so no traffic !! Lol

yeah NE does have some good roads, but seems not many people go there

Kinglake and surrounding are the best roads in that rough distance from the CBD IMO.

Mt Dandy is good, but doesn't impress me nearly as much as a lot of quieter roads up around KL etc.

my car is stockish, what do i have to fear :banana:

been pulled over 6-7 times, cops checked the car 3 times

and that was also when i didn't have a proper full set of wheels and was mix and matching 17s and 15s

mountain hwy is great, but you NEVER get a bottom to top without "interruption" unless its a 3 am jobby :banana:

yeah well dont get me wrong guyys im not asking for a race up the hill so operation raid wont be an issue unless you guys have illegal mods. i just wanna go for a nice semi spirited drive, nothing stupid. also will deff be interested in a KL type cruise if you guys are all interested. lovelly area.

im always down for a cruise just when and where ppl...... got sau meeting tonight. be good for some semi-sprited driving b4 i park the 34 for christmas. in between x-mas and nys + skyline with pz= ass rapidge.. haha

Hells yes, im always keen for a good dandy night!!! How about tonight anyone up for a good mountian fang? My breaks are warped shitless so i aint as fast as i use to be, but my GF wants to do something tonight i was kinda thinking of dandy bashing... anyone for for it gimmie a sms on 0422017404... cant be too late, 1-2 ish work tomorrow morning!!

Let me know anyway, live in wheelers hill 10-15mins from the base of the beast, if we go to the Burwood highway entrance side!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
